Also, because I'm rarely on facebook or instagram I never got to see these updates before, so thank you for sharing here!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06757884141282285621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692156614069531903.post-28731964710215467632018-09-28T14:30:13.038-07:002018-09-28T14:30:13.038-07:00It is interesting to think about what the bronze s...It is interesting to think about what the bronze serpent meant to the people... bronze was the metal used for things outside the holy and most holy places in the tabernacle - the brazen altar (where sacrifices for sin were made), the laver (where things were cleansed and purified)... bronze represented the fleshly nature that sins - and that is what Jesus put to death on the cross. So looking to the bronze serpent on the stake was a reminder of what they needed to put to death in themselves - just as Jesus on the cross should remind us of what he put to death in his own body and how we need to do the same.sojournerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12115560492461012072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692156614069531903.post-1974623802669484052018-09-28T09:41:20.460-07:002018-09-28T09:41:20.460-07:00We are over 3 years of waiting while moving throug...We are over 3 years of waiting while moving through mountains, hills, valleys, fires, waters to reach our promise land. I've cried, questioned, and feared too much. But what I know is we have seen the goodness of the Lord and his faithfulness. I don't want to "die in the desert" and never reach our promise land! I find that I have to take my thoughts captive by digging into the Word. I have to look at how God has provided for us and proven his love and faithfulness daily. Fully trusting him doesn't come easy! It's a daily process but this is what I know: He is faithful!! His promises are true! He is the same yesterday, today and forever! He knows the best path for us even if it hurts. The only way I have been able to keep going is by studying his word and journaling it. It gives me God breathed oxygen. Kari it is through you that I began journaling. I saw your heart and how you didn't want fluff but you wanted the deepest depths that God's Word can bring. Thank you! Thank you for sharing "Shortness of the Soul." It has reminded me to keep looking to Jesus- the author and finisher of my faith.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600654486747365995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692156614069531903.post-4876776799471561982018-09-27T15:34:33.754-07:002018-09-27T15:34:33.754-07:00Oh Kari!

You should pass out band-aids as a warning before reading this post! :) I just finished reading "The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment" that you recommended and while I've got most of the contentment part down and feeling pretty good about that, well--um, the murmuring is still a huge area to work on. Yes, ouch. Thank you for sharing your honest experience, we definitely need strong women in Christ to come along side of us and help us train for the prize Paul talks about. You are right, Christ is the ONLY answer to our pained souls. Let's keep going!Lisa N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03278982060021254897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692156614069531903.post-47583611778251974852018-09-27T12:53:03.650-07:002018-09-27T12:53:03.650-07:00This study touched me in a personal way.

This study is reminding me to be patient and to trust in God's provision, timing, will, and <br />to not become discouraged.BarbaraBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822934413759460848noreply@blogger.com
